People sometimes forget how much information is included in a dictionary,so we put together this Activity Guide to introduce you to The NewburyHouse Dictionary of American English. As you complete the activities inthe guide you will accomplish two important things: (1) learn how to find many different kinds of information and, (2) learn new groups of related vocabulary words.

The Activity Guide consists of twenty-two topic-based lessons, each takingabout twenty minutes to complete. Cross-referenced to each lesson is a“Guide to Skills and Strategies” that describes and gives examples of theskills needed to complete the activities. At the end of the Activity Guide,you will find a complete Answer Key is provided so that you can check yourown work.
